"This book stands out from other textbooks on comparative politics.
It represents a rare accomplishment as it has a focus on a
substantively significant issue, that of democracy and
democratization, which also serves as an instructional tool for
problem-based learning. The book is insightful, coherent, and
lucidly written and will enrich comparative politics
classrooms."
